Girondins de Bordeaux failed to score in yet another game, as they were forced to settle for a share of the spoils with AC Troyes in the Ligue 1 fixture. The coach is running out of patience with Les Girondins, who have drawn five consecutive games
Another stalemate on the last game of the year for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francis-c13946 Gillot’s men, as FC Girondins de Bordeaux were held by AS Troyes at the Stade Chaban Delmas. The coach felt irritated as his side failed to register a win, extending their winless streak to six matches.
The Frenchman voiced out his frustration after the game, insisting that the team must score in order to win games. He exclaimed:
"If you don't score you are not going to win a game.”
The former FC Sochaux-Montbeliard coach felt that the team’s performance dipped in the second half. Les Marine-et-Blanc were resolute in defence, but it was upfront where they lacked the cutting edge. The 52-year old said:
“The 'keeper made some saves, we played quite well in the first half, but the second half was much more difficult.”
Gillot felt agonized after the game. The Frenchman featured six attacking players in the squad for the fixture against Troyes, yet the result remained the same. He said:
“We had six attacking players on the pitch but we struggled to create chances, and when we did their goalkeeper made the difference. We lacked a finishing touch, which is the hardest thing to have in football.”
The tactician tried out a major squad rotation for the game, in a desperate attempt to get back to winning ways. However, the rotation proved pointless, as Bordeaux settled for another stalemate. The coach stated:
“I made a lot of changes, a lot of changes to the detriment of the balance of the team.”
Gillot believes that Les Girondins had a good year, regardless of their last few disappointing results. The coach feels satisfied with the team’s overall performance in the year, hoping that the Bordeaux-based club can end their recent poor form. He said:
“It has largely been a positive season so far even if the last five matches have spoiled what we have done in 2012 a little bit.”
